PREFACE 



To acquaint the members of the Student Guides' Association, 
and others, with the physical equipment and resources of the 
University of Pennsylvania, and to assist the students and friends 
of the University in escorting visitors through the institution, 
the editor prepared, in 1904, a pamphlet descriptive of the prin- 
cipal buildings and objects of interest, which was the first edition 
of this Guide Book. The subsequent editions were illustrated 
and greatly enlarged. 

The editor is indebted to many officers of the University for 
the assistance given him in its preparation and in revising the 
material concerning their respective departments. 

No attempt has been made to give an exhaustive historical 
account of the University, to include any historical illustrations, 
or to give a detailed description of each of the departments and 
the buildings connected therewith. 

Those wishing information on the courses and various depart- 
ments are referred to the general catalogues and departmental 
publications, and those desirous of looking up the historical de- 
velopment or any phase of University history or college life are 
referred to the list of publications printed in the appendix to this 
edition.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 

The latest statistics of the United States Commissioner of 
Education include almost a thousand colleges, universities, and 
professional schools; all except thirty of these were founded 
within the last century, ten were in existence when the Declara- 
tion of Independence was signed in 1776, and only five of the 
present American universities were founded more than a century 
and a half ago. Harvard opened its doors during the early 
part of the Seventeenth Century; Yale, in the first year of the 




FIRST BUILDINGS OF THE UNIVERSITY I74O. 



Eighteenth Century; and the University of Pennsylvania, in 
1740; Washington and Lee, and Princeton a few years later. 

The University of Pennsylvania had its origin in the "Charity 
School," organized in 1740, which occupied a building at Fourth 
and Arch streets, Philadelphia. Nine years later Benjamin 
Franklin, the great American statesman and philosopher, 
and the founder of the University, published a pamphlet 
on "Education of Youth in Pennsylvania," which resulted in 

(s) 



the foundation of an Academy which began its first session on 
January 7, 175 1, in the building on the west side of Fourth 
street below Arch, originally constructed for the Charity School. 
In 1753 the Trustees secured their first charter for the Academy; 
and two years later, by virtue of a second charter, the Academy 
was converted into a college with full power to confer the usual 
collegiate degrees. The first Commencement was held on May 
17, 1757, when the degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred 
upon seven students. In 1765 a school of medicine, the first in 
America, was added to the college. In 1779 all the charter rights 
and privileges of the college were absorbed by a new organiza- 
tion, called in its charter "The Trustees of the University of the 
State of Pennsylvania." These rights were restored ten years later, 
and in 1791 another charter was granted jointly to the Trustees 
of the Charity School and Academy, of the University and of the 
College, under the corporate name of "The University of Penn- 
sylvania," which name it has borne ever since. Its early his- 
tory was closely associated with the principal events in the 
history of the colonies, and also in the War with Great Britain 
for Independence, in which many of its sons took a leading 
part. Among the signers of the Declaration of Independence 
were ten men who were either graduates of the college or among 
its founders. 

In 1802 the University buildings were removed to Ninth and 
Chestnut streets, where, a century and a quarter after its organi- 
zation, the University found itself located in one of the most 
congested sections of Philadelphia. In 1873 it removed to its 
present site in West Philadelphia. Here its growth was most 
remarkable. In 1874 the University Hospital was established; 
the year following the Towne Scientific School was added to the 
college, and in quick succession followed the Department of 
Music, Department of Philosophy and Graduate School, De- 
partment of Veterinary Medicine, the Veterinary Hospital the 
Department of Physical Education, the Department of Archae- 
ology and University Museums, General Library, Training School 
for Nurses, Wistar Institute of Anatomy, Teachers' School, 
Flower Astronomical Observatory, the Evening School, and the 
Summer School— so that the curriculum now covers practically 
every branch of higher education and scientific research.

CAMPUS. — Exclusive of sidewalks and streets, the campus 
of the University covers an area of about sixty acres. It is 
situated only three city blocks from the geographical center of 
Philadelphia, and only six minutes from the City Hall — the 
center of a population of over a million and a half. No other 
educational institution of equal size is located so near the heart 
of a great city. The grounds extend from 32nd street to 39th, 
and from Chestnut street to South street. The grounds are 
open to visitors daily, except Sunday, from sunrise to sunset. 
The University also owns a large tract of ground on the West 
Chester Pike, on which are located the buildings of the Astro- 

(8) 



9 



nomical Observatory; these are open to visitors on Thursday 
evenings. 




EQUIPMENT. — There are about seventy buildings used at 
present to carry on the work of the University; of these nine- 



10 



teen are devoted to teaching, eleven to hospitals and auxiliary 
buildings, twenty-seven dormitory houses, and the remainder to 
recreation hall, gymnasium, athletics, alumni hall, etc. Not in- 
cluded among these are a score of club and fraternity houses. 
The Christian Association also has a large building in the Schuyl- 
kill River district for settlement work. 

HOWARD HOUSTON HALL, the students' club house of the 
University, erected in 1895 and formally dedicated on January 2, 
1896, in memory of Henry Howard Houston, Jr., a graduate of 
the Class of 1878 College, by his parents, H. H. and S. S. 
Houston; size, 150x78 feet; cost, $250,000; designed by two 
graduates (not then of age) of the Department of Architecture 
of the University, William C. Hays and M. B. Medary, Jr., in a 
competition, the first and second prizes being awarded to them. 
The building is a combination of the two designs, the exterior 
plans of the second prize being used unchanged. The design was 
developed and the work executed under Frank Miles Day, with 
Messrs. Hays and Medary as associate architects. The style of 
architecture is inspired from early Elizabethan examples and 
may be called "English Collegiate" ; the material, North Con- 
shohocken and Indiana limestone. The building is three stories 
high and is one of the most spacious and best furnished club 
houses in Philadelphia. The interior finish is of quartered oak, 
in dark brown shades. Supporting the roof of the auditorium 
on the second floor are trusses of elaborate design, adapted 
from those in the Great Hall at Eltham Palace, Kent. The 
device used in a decorative way so frequently is an interweaving 
of Howard Houston's initials with the Early Christian symbol of 
"The Lamb of God." 

On the main floor is a spacious lounging or general reception 
room. In this room is a memorial tablet to, and an excellent por- 
trait of, Henry Howard Houston, Jr., by Cecilia Beaux — the gift 
of Mr. Houston's classmates. In the east wing are writing 
rooms and a library reading room, in which are kept all current 
magazines and newspapers and a large library of English litera- 
ture; the west wing and the basement are fitted up with billiard 
and pool tables and bowling alleys. The offices of the club, the 
cloak room, and the University branch of the United States 



II

postoffice are located on either side of the Spruce street entrance. 
On the two stone corbels which support the hood over the north 
entrance door are carved the heads of Dante and Virgil. 

On the second floor is a restaurant, an auditorium with a grand 
organ, and a suite of three "Trophy Rooms." In the latter are 
displayed many prizes won in athletic competition, with tablets 
giving the names and records of the more distinguished athletes; 
here also is the memorial tablet to Osgood, the all-around ath- 
lete, who died in the Cuban War. 

On the third floor are the offices of the Bureau of Publicity, 
of "Old Penn," the oflicial weekly paper of the University, and a 
dark room for amateur photographers, guest chambers, and 
several society rooms in which the various medical, dental, and 
other student societies hold their monthly meetings. 

Among other interesting objects adorning the walls are the 
portrait of Mr. H. H. Houston, the donor of the building; the 
portrait of Provost Harrison, painted by Henry Floyd ; the 
Scott Memorial Tablet; the Class of '99 C. Memorial Clock, old 
diplomas, etc. The valuable collection of framed photographs, 
illustrating masterpieces of architecture and sculpture, and rep- 
resenting the various schools of Renaissance painting, was 
selected and arranged by Mr. Frank Miles Day; while the furni- 
ture, rugs, casts, etc., were selected by Provost Harrison, by Mrs. 
Harrison, and by the architects. 

The club has a membership of about 3,500 and is self-support- 
ing. The hall is the scene of many social functions, dances, re- 
ceptions, dinners, etc., during the college season. The building is 
open to visitors daily. The University Sunday services in the 
auditorium at 11.00 a. m. are also open to the public.

Dear Sir, 

Knowing full well the multiplicity & importance of yr busi-

with it — At all times I shall be happy to see you, but wish it 
to be in your moments of leisure — if any such you have. 

Mrs. Washington, myself and family, will have the honor 
of dining with you in the way proposed, to-morrow — being Christ-

I am Sincerely & Affectly

Go Washington.

Pennsylvania students and alumni engaged in the Spanish War. 
This building was opened in 1901, as were most of the others 
to the east of it; those to the west date from 1896. The build- 
ings have been designed in the English Collegiate style, with 
Elizabethan detail, and with their wide enclosures strongly sug- 
gest the Oxford and Cambridge colleges. The carved bosses in 
the main cornice are reminiscent of the Gothic period in Archi- 
tecture. A distinctive feature is the third story with its many 
gables connected by balustrades. Cope and Stewardson are the 
architects. When the system is complete the buildings will sur- 
round three courts, viz., the "Big Quad" (now usually called 
the "old athletic field"), the "Triangle," and the "Little Quad." 
There are twenty-seven separate houses, and accommodations for 
about eight hundred students. The houses are named, in tablets 
over the entrance doors, for , the donors or for distinguished 
alumni. All rooms and halls are heated by steam and lighted 
by electricity. The buildings are on the "separate staircase" sys- 
tem, all outer doors opening into the courts. On every staircase 
and on each floor are lavatories, with hot and cold shower baths. 
Almost all the suites and double rooms, and many of the single 



20 



rooms, have open fireplaces. The University supplies for each 
student : bedstead, mattress, bureau, washstand, table, bookcase, 
chairs, and toilet china. There are five kinds of rooms, viz., 
single, single suite, double, double suite, and triple suite. The 
minimum cost of a room in the Dormitories is $55.00 per year. 

Points of interest to visitors are : Class of '92 Memorial 
Fountain, by Alexander Calder, sculptor, (east arcade) ; Class of 
'94 Memorial Gate (at entrance) ; Class of '98 Memorial Clock 
(over west arcade) ; Class of 'oo Memorial Sun Dial (in the 
"Little Quad") ; the Terrace (east of Bodine and Morris) ; site 
of proposed Dining Hall (south of Morris) ; the rich carvings 
over doors, etc., especially the grotesque "bosses" of the string 
course between the second and third floors ; the bath arrange- 
ments and the system of student self-government — see board

clock is given : 

This thirty-day clock was made by David Rittenhouse, Esq., 
-LL..D., of Philadelphia, who was a trustee of the University of 
the State of Pennsylvania 1779-1791, and of the University of 
Pennsylvania 1791-1797, as well as Vice-Provost and Professor 
m the former institution. The record on the minutes of the 
Koard of Trustees relates that on August 4, 1790, Mr. Ritten- 
house presented this "very valuable timepiece, which he had 
put up in the Provost's room." The clock was moved in 1802 
to the University buildings on Ninth Street, where it stood 
for years in the room of Professor John Fries Frazer. In 
1872 it was transferred to the present College Hall, where it 
remained for twenty years, until finally placed in its present 
position. *

On a sago palm in one of the greenhouses of the Botanical 
Department is a brass tablet inscribed: 



I was born about one hundred and fifty years ago in "The 
Land of the Rising Sun," where they named me SAGOBEI 
SHURO, but here I am known as SAGO PALM, while botanists 
call me CYCAS REVOLUTA. 



52 

I lived in peace among my fellows till about five years ago, 
when some of the skilled gardeners of my native land severed 
my roots, removed my leafy crown and packed me up like a 
mummy; then they sent, me- across the wide waters to an enter- 
prising firm named Dreer, in this great "Land of the Setting Sun." 
Here I lived till a botanist from the shrines of learning in this 
city of Brotherly Love revered my age, genealogy & stature, and 
so desired to have me. •-*, ,,' ,, T , r 

By the generosity of Mrs. James McManes I was secured for 
my present abode, where by kind treatment I have regained my 
old dignity and leafy crown. Though far from my native home, 
I can survey the wonders of this great institution & exclaim: "I 
am the oldest living being in the University." Nay, more, when 
those who now serve it are gathered to their sires, I hope still 
to be green and flourishing.

ground broken August 12, 1903 ; dedicated October 19, 1906. 
It has a frontage of 300 feet and a depth of 160 feet, besides a 
large wing 50 feet square extending from the rear. Cost, 
$750,000. The building was designed by Cope and Stewardson. 
It is fireproof throughout, while the equipment is of the most 
modern and approved type. The exterior is of dark brick with 
limestone trimmings, and while the general architectural treat- 
ment is in the English Georgian school and in accord with the 
keynote given by the Dormitories and later University buildings, 
it is in a quieter vein. There are three stories, with a basement 
covering a third of the entire area. There is a total floor area 
of 128,000 square feet. It is the largest on the Campus and is the 
best equipped building of its kind. The heating is by direct steam, 
the ventilation by electrically driven fans, and the lighting by 
electricity. There are two principal entrances leading to the 



54 

main hallway, which extends east and west the entire length of 
the building to staircases at both extremities. Large light- 
wells terminate in skylights over the main floor. The base- 
ment contains locker-rooms, lavatories, machinery for heating 
and ventilating, storage battery rooms, laboratories for geodetic 
and hydraulic work, and for the testing of the materials of con- 
struction. On the first floor, adjacent to the main entrance, are 
the offices of the heads of departments. Accommodation is also 
provided for physical and hydraulic testing, instrument testing 
and for special work in mechanical and electrical engineering. 
Rooms are likewise set aside for dynamos and electric motors, 
steam and gas engines, refrigerating apparatus, hydraulic motors, 
boiler testing, pattern making, wood and iron working, foundry 
and machine shops, etc. On the second floor is a reference 
library and reading room, a students' assembly room, rooms for 
use of instructors and for lectures and recitations. The rear 
portion of this floor is devoted almost wholly to drawing rooms. 
A room for the use of the engineering societies, a general sup- 
ply store, and the library stack occupy the middle portion. In 
the east and west wings ample space is assigned to the engineer- 
ing museums, while the rear of this floor is set aside exclusively 
for additional drawing rooms, which, like those just beneath, 
will have the full advantage of a north light. 

LIGHT, HEAT AND POWER PLANT.— The central plant 
is located at the northwest corner of 34th and Spruce streets. 
It consists of two buildings, which were dedicated on May 26, 
1893, both constructed of dark red brick with brownstone trim- 
mings. The one is 56x200 feet, with a 14- foot driveway on 
34th street, under which are the coal bins; and the other is 
109x49 feet. The buildings were designed by Wilson Brothers, 
architects. Both buildings are one story high, and are con- 
nected with each other by a 13-foot shed. The building to the 
west was originally four stories high and was used by the 
Mechanical Engineering Department -from 1893 to 1906, when it - 
was partially destroyed by fire. 

These buildings contain eight boilers of 1900 horse power each, 
and four engines of 425 horse power. The plant supplies light 



55 




56 

and heat to all University buildings except the Museum, Wistar 
Institute, and the New Gymnasium. It furnishes light for about 
16,000 incandescent lights of 16 c. p., and heats an air space 
of 18.000,000 cubic feet, or approximately that of 325 large three 
story houses. During the winter months the plant consumes as 
much as 81 tons of coal a day, almost 13,000 tons being used 
annually. 

MEMORIALS IN THE ENGINEERING BUILDING.

THE FLOWER ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY is sit- 
uated on the "Flower Farm," on the West Chester Pike, two 
miles from 63rd and Market streets. The Observatory buildings 
were designed by Edgar V. Seeler, and constructed in 1895; 
they are three in number; the equatorial building of brick; the 
meridian building of wood; and the residence of the director and 
the Astronomical Library. Among the principal instruments are 
an Equatorial Telescope of 18 inches aperture, Meridian Circle, 
Transit Instrument Reflex Zenith, Tube Chronometers, Chrono- 
graph, etc. The cost of the building and equipment was over 
$50,000. The fund for building and maintenance was provided 
by the late Reese Wall Flower, of Philadelphia. 

The Observatory is open to visitors every Thursday evening 
throughout the year, except during the vacation, from 7 to 10

WHARTON SCHOOL BUILDING (contemplated). The 
Wharton School of Finance and Commerce was founded by 
Joseph Wharton, who endowed it in 1883. Beginning with the 
fall of 1904, the school has occupied temporary quarters in Logan 
Hall. The future home of the school will be in a building to 
be erected on a lot on Woodland avenue opposite the Wistar 
Institute, and running through to Locust street. Mr. Wharton's 
gifts to the school thus far amount to a total of $530,000. The 
new building about to be erected will have a frontage of 150 feet 
on Woodland avenue, and about 250 feet on Locust street, its 
depth being about 302 feet. The building will also be the gift of 
Mr. Wharton and will cost, with its equipments, about $250,000. 
Cope and Stewardson have prepared the plans; the architecture 
will be similar to that of the other recently erected buildings.

ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING (contemplated). Plans are 
under way for the construction and equipment of a building 
for the school of architecture to cost about $500,000. 

The school now occupies a suite of fourteen rooms on the 
third floor of College Hall, having become one of the largest 
schools of architecture in the country. Its library, draughting 
rooms, studios, and other rooms are open to the public. 

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.— Founded 1765. First class to 
receive Medical Degree in America was graduated in 1768. The 
buildings connected with the department are Medical Hall, Medi- 
cal Laboratory, Wistar Institute of Anatomy, Laboratory of Hy- 
giene, the new Medical Laboratories, and the Hospital System, 
in which are included the main building, Agnew Pavilion, Gibson 
Wing, the Maternity, the Pepper Clinical Laboratory and the 
Mortuary and Chapel. There are about 600 students and a 
teaching staff of 160. 

LOGAN HALL. — East side of 36th street, between Woodland 
avenue and Spruce street. The building was designed by Pro- 
fessor Thomas Richards and c< nstructed of green serpentine 
stone in 1874. It is 160x89 feet, and houses the Department 
of Anatomy, including applied Anatomy, Histology and Embry- 
ology, and Osteology. In the building are two large amphithe- 
atres and three demonstration rooms. A large part of this 
building was vacated upon the removal of several of the De- 
partments to the new laboratory building. The parts thus va- 
cated are temporarily occupied by the Wharton School of 
Finance and Commerce. 

In Logan Hall, in the office, is a Chinese motto, presented 
to Mr. Joseph Wharton by His Excellency, the Chinese Minister, 
Sir Chengtung Lian Cheng. Translated, the motto reads : 

"The scholar (or student) who consults his ease is not worthy 
to be called a scholar (or student)." 

ROBERT HARE LABORATORY OF CHEMISTRY.— 

Northeast corner of 36th and Spruce streets. Built 1874, of 
green serpentine stone, 148 x 46 feet ; architect, Professor Thomas 
Richards. The first three floors are occupied by the Chemical 
Laboratories of the Department of Medicine. On the fourth 



6o 



floor is the dissecting room, on the south wall of which is a 
brass tablet inscribed as follows :

NEW LABORATORY BUILDING OF THE MEDICAL 
DEPARTMENT, dedicated June 10, 1904. This is one of the 
most imposing buildings of the University. It faces the south 




side of Hamilton Walk, west of 36th street, occupying the site 
where stood the old buildings of the Veterinary Department and 
Hospitals. The structure is fireproof throughout, the exterior 



62 



being of hard burnt brick and buff Indiana limestone, and the 
interior finished in white Italian marble. The building has a 
frontage of z?>7 ^ eet along Hamilton Walk, and a depth of 192 
feet; it is two stories above a high basement, and cost almost 
$700,000. It is quadrangular in shape and constructed around a 
courtyard so as to give all the large laboratories and research 
rooms a north light. The building is one of the largest and best 
equipped of its kind in America. The architecture is in the Eng- 
lish Collegiate style of the Middle Seventeenth Century, and is in 
harmony with that of the dormitories and other recently erected 
buildings designed by Cope and Stewardson. 

Adjacent to the main entrance are the administration offices 
of the Medical Department. 

There are two large amphitheatres in the rear of the building 
with a seating capacity of 400 each, and two large demonstration 
rooms, seating 185 each. The Departments of Physiology and 
Pharmacodynamics occupy the first floor and basement, while the 
second floor is devoted exclusively to pathology with temporary 
accommodations 1 for a number of professors of other depart- 
ments, until the completion of future building operations looking 
towards the transfer of the entire medical school to buildings 
adjacent to this one. Among the principal rooms are those de- 
voted to physical diagnosis, bandaging, research, and sub-section 
teaching in physiology in the basement. On the first floor are 
numerous rooms equipped for aseptic operations on lower ani- 
mals; numerous small rooms for research work, professors and 
assistants ; rooms for sub-section teaching, in digestion, circulation, 
respiration, calorimetry, nerve, muscle, special senses, etc. ; and 
photographic dark room, repair, and storage rooms, etc. On 
this floor are three large laboratories for physiology, practical 
pharmacodynamics and practical pharmacy, respectively; a mu- 
seum, a library, and rooms for assistants and research. The 
chief purpose of the second floor is for laboratory instruction in 
pathology. Most of the north front of the building is devoted to 
laboratories for advanced students in experimental pathology and 
pathological bacteriology and the special research and assistants* 
rooms. The east wing accommodates the laboratory of advanced 
pathological histology and a seminar and journal room; the west 
wing is occupied by the pathological museum, the Gross morbid 



63 




6 4 



anatomy demonstration room, a room for museum preparation, 
photographic rooms, and rooms for animal operations. The 
front of the laboratory of pathological histology consists almost 
entirely of glass and is located so as to face a spacious court to 
the north, thus insuring excellent and uniform light and admir-. 
ably adapting it for microscopic work carried on by a large class. 
In a similar section of the building, east of the central hall, with 
similar front arrangements to insure light for microscopic work, 
are located two small laboratories for the teaching of surgical 
pathology, neuro-pathology and clinical pathological technology; 
the private rooms for the instructors of these branches open 
upon these larger laboratories.

THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL SYSTEM.— Founded 1874, 
consists of six buildings, all located in the two city squares 
bounded by 34th, 36th, Spruce and Pine streets. In these build- 
ings are six amphitheatres, and fourteen wards with a total of 
350 beds. The medical staff of the Hospital consists of more 
than 100 physicians and 86 nurses. In the basement of the cen- 
tral buildings are surgical and medical dispensaries and dispen- 
saries for special diseases. 

Extensions have been recently made to each of the main 
Hospital buildings in the*rear, so that each floor of every build- 
ing is now provided with a spacious sun parlor. 

Extensive improvements are also being made to the Hospital 
buildings along Spruce street between 34th and 36th streets. 
The front walls of these are being brought out to the Spruce 
street building line, which improvements, when completed, will 
give the hospital a total capacity of more than 400 beds. 

THE MAIN HOSPITAL BUILDING.— Constructed of ser- 
pentine (green) stone, dedicated June 4, 1874; size 171x185 
feet; cost, $552,000. Architect, Professor Thomas Richards. 
The gift of the State and City and benevolent citizens, secured 
principally through the efforts of the late Provost William Pep- 
per. 

THE D. "HAYES AGNEW MEMORIAL PAVILION.— 

Erected in 1897; size 151x85 feet; material, red brick; cost, 
$75,000. Architects, Cope and Stewardson. The building was 
named in honor of the great American surgeon who had such 
a long and important career at the University. The building con- 
tains four wards and three amphitheatres for clinical instruc- 
tion. Its architectural treatment was inspired by the brick and 
terra cotta architecture of Northern Italy. 

THE WILLIAM PEPPER LABORATORY OF CLINICAL 

MEDICINE. —Erected 1894; size 45x45 feet; material, red 
brick; cost, $50,000. Architects, Cope and Stewardson. Erected 
through the generosity of the late Provost William Pepper as a 
memorial to his father. The laboratory is entirely for graduate 
work, for the purpose of promoting the interest of patients by

sity. The pavilion was originally erected for the treatment of 
heart and lung diseases. It now contains the Children's Medical 
Ward of twenty beds; the Ward for Chronic Surgical Cases of 
twenty beds; the students' Medical Ward of ten beds, and a 
number of private rooms. 

THE MATERNITY PAVILION, located in rear of the Pep- 
per Laboratory ; erected in 1901 ; size 107 x 80 feet ; material, red 
brick. Architects, Cope and Stewardson. Can accommodate 50 
patients and has an amphitheatre seating 200. In the basement 
is a system by which all heated air supplied to the nurseries and 
wards is purified and filtered. 

In 1906 a new wing, 38x41 feet, was added to the Maternity, 
the gift of Mrs. Benjamin F. Clyde. It was designed by Brockie 
& Hastings, and conforms to the original building, which is a 
simple form of Italian brick work of the Renaissance period. 
In the sun parlor on the second floor is a memorial window, in- 
scribed: "To the Glory of God. — Dedicated October 11, 1906." 

THE MORTUARY AND CHAPEL, small buildings in the 
rear of the Main Pavilion, erected in 1890, at a cost of $11,000. 

X-RAY LABORATORY. — This laboratory has been erected 
in the rear of the Agnew pavilion. It is one of the most im- 
portant parts of the University Hospital System; and with 
other improvements, involved an expenditure of sixty thousand 
dollars, $25,000 of which was appropriated by the Pennsylvania 
State Legislature towards the laboratory. 

BUILDING FOR CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. — No cases of 
contagious diseases are taken into the University Hospital, this 
building having been constructed merely for the purpose of iso- 
lating the few cases of contagious diseases which develop among 
the patients in the general hospital. The building was designed 
by Brockie and Hastings, and is located in the rear part of the 
hospital yard, along the north side of Hamilton Walk, near 36th 
street. The architecture is Renaissance, and in keeping with the 
other University Hospital buildings. The building is 60 x 34, two 
stories above a high basement, and cost about $25,000. It is 



76 



absolutely sanitary, the outer walls being double, with a wide 
space between the two, which avoids all dampness. The floors 
are of reinforced concrete, with a finished flooring of a patent 




material, without joints. This material is turned up around all 
walls and forms a baseboard and floor throughout the entire 
building, without a single joint or crevice. There is a complete 
system of heating and forced ventilation. 



77 

There are two stories and a basement. In the latter are con- 
tained all the heating and mechanical equipment, pipes, etc. On 
the first floor there is an open porch running through the build- 
ing from one side to the other. From this porch opens the stair- 
way, connecting the two floors; also opening from this porch is 
a general storeroom for linen, bedding, stretcher supplies, etc. 
These four rooms, two on each floor, are placed at the sides of 
the stairway and entirely cut off from the other part of the build- 
ing, the open porch coming between the two portions. 

On the west side of the porch are the rooms for the patients. 
All rooms open into a main corridor. The food is delivered 
from the open porch on the first floor through a special window 
into the first story diet kitchen, and by means of a dumb-waiter 
to the second story diet kitchen. 

THE LAUNDRY BUILDING.— The laundry building is 
72x34 feet, and cost about $16,000. It was also designed by 
Brockie and Hastings. On the first floor is a large disinfecting 
plant for bedding and linen, which is isolated from the rest of 
the first floor, in which all the washing is done, as well as the 
finishing of large pieces. 

The second floor is equipped with large drying rooms, ironing 
machines, and tables for hand work. This floor also contains 
the office of the head laundress, and a large room with shelves 
and divisions, into which the work of each nurse, resident, or 
private patient, is put. The plant is operated by electricity, and 
is now the most complete laundry for hospital work in the city. 
The lighting, heating, and ventilating apparatus is also operated 
by electricty. 

HOME FOR NURSES, located at 34th and Spruce streets; 
erected in 1886; architect, Amos J. Boyden. This building was 
erected in memory of Mrs. Richard D. Wood by her children. 
Including the students in the training school, there are at present 
one hundred nurses connected with the hospital.

ical Laboratory buildings. The Veterinary Department and 
Hospital moved into a temporary building at 39th and Wood- 
land avenue in 1901. 

THE VETERINARY BUILDING of the Department occu- 
pies the entire lot at 39th street, De Lancey street and Woodland 
avenue, which has been purchased for this purpose at a cost of 
over $40,000. The dimensions of this plot are 260 by 210 feet. 
The building, which will cost about $300,000, is being erected 
around all four sides of the square, leaving a courtyard in the 
center. Only the 39th street and Woodland avenue fronts have 
been completed thus far. The style of architecture is similar to 
that of the University Dormitories. The plans were prepared 
by Cope and Stewardson. 

The building is fireproof, and constructed of hard burnt red 
brick, with limestone trimmings, the roof covering being of green 
slate. The main entrance is through the archway on 39th street. 

On the first floor are waiting rooms for the public; a phar- 
macy; resident surgeon's room; room for canine clinics, which 
communicates with the kennels on the second floor, and the hos- 
pital of the building, which occupies the second floor along Wood- 
land avenue, east of 39th street. There are also rooms for the care 
of the various other small animals. In the series of buildings 
the school and hospital departments are entirely separated, every- 
thing connected with anatomy and post-mortem work being 
grouped together. In the southern half of the building along 
39th street is a large hall for horse clinics. Adjoining are an 
irrigating room, forge, sterilizing room, with X-ray apparatus, 
etc. 

There are numerous box stalls for special treatment of various 
diseases of horses. The hospital for larger animals accommo- 
dates fifty-five horses and cows. 

In the northern portion of the first floor is a library and the 
offices of the faculty. On the second floor are the laboratories of 
the State Live Stock Sanitary Board, and rooms and offices con- 
nected therewith. 

The third story contains rooms and studies for resident sur- 
geons, and large laboratories.

: mented, are 40x114 feet and 30 feet high; each hall contains 
254 individual desks ; the former named for Chief Justice Shars- 
i wood, who re-organized the school, and the latter for Chief Jus- 
j tice McKean, of Pennsylvania; McMurtrie Hall, the graduate 
! reading room; the Biddle Law Library, of 41,000 volumes, in fire- 
\ proof stacks. Paintings and engravings of famous jurists and 
I former members of the teaching staff adorn the walls through the 
I building. There are also numerous busts, and bronze and marble 
I memorial tablets, in various parts of the building. On the main 
floor are six classrooms, a moot court-room, Wharton Hall, 
Price Hall (debating room), and the Museum of the Pennsyl- 
vania Bar Association. In the basement are the club rooms of 
the various student organizations of the Law School; in the sub- 
cellar is a modern lighting, heating, and ventilating plant. 

A large lot immediately in the rear of the Law School build- 
ing is owned by the University and was purchased for the exten-

DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY.— Founded 1889; or- 
ganized by the late William Pepper. Museum divided into four 
departments, each under the management of a curator, viz. : Gen- 
eral Ethnology, and American Prehistoric Archaeology, Babyl- 
onian and General Semitic, Egyptian and Mediterranean Sections. 
Ground for buildings and gardens, almost ten acres, donated by 
the city, 1894-1895. Location of tract, south of Spruce street 
and east of 34th street. The Philadelphia Commercial Museums, 
the largest of their kind in America, are located immediately in 
the rear of the University Museums. 

MUSEUM BUILDINGS (northwestern section), begun in 1897 
and dedicated December 20, 1899. Cost, including present equip- 
ment, $400,000. The joint architects, in charge of the plans for 
the completion of the Museums, are Messrs. Wilson Eyre, Jr., 
Cope and Stewardson, and Frank Miles Day and Brother. ' The 
completed plans provide for an extensive group of buildings to 



101 



be constructed by sections. The whole is to cover almost twelve 
acres of ground and to cost about $2,250,000. The section now 
erected, the northwestern, will form about one-seventh of the 
building when completed. The plans provide for an enormous 
dome which will dominate the entire composition. From this 
dome broad galleries are to extend eastward and westward to 
two secondary domes, with each of which are connected two 
groups of buildings, one facing north and the other facing south. 
The portion at present erected is a part of the western group, 
and consists of a series of buildings facing three sides of a 
courtyard in which there is a large pool containing aquatic plants. 
To the westward of the Museum, extending to 34th street, are 
terraced grounds, in the center of which is the statue, in bronze, 
of the late Dr. William Pepper, by Carl Bitter. 

Competent critics consider the treatment of this building and 
its courtyard one of the most charming and successful works of 
architecture in this country. It is inspired by the round arched 
brick architecture of Northern Italy. The material is rough 
brick of a somewhat unusual color, laid with wide mortar joints, 
the only exterior . ornamentation being rough mosaic fragments 
of brick and marble. The roof, of Spanish tiles, adds greatly 
to the beauty of the structure. 

Babylonian Section. — Second floor, west wing; some of the 
results of the excavations conducted by the University at 
the ancient Babylonian city, Nippur. Most important collection 
in America. Points of interest: Relief map of Nippur; frag- 
ments of vases of the earliest period known; door socket of 
Sargon, 3800 B. C. ; inscribed cylinder bricks from the temple of 
Bel; sarcophagi; seal-cylinders; images of gods, pottery, etc. 
There is also a door socket form Ur of the Chaldees, and a clay 
cone of Amraphel (Hammurabi) of Genesis XIV. 

Etruscan, Egyptian, and Mediterranean Section. — Central 
hall, east wing, second floor. Points of interest: Dill- 
wyn-Parrish Collection of Greco-Roman papyri, among which 
are the oldest known fragments of the Gospel of St. Matthew, 
of the second century, and Thucydides, of the first century; 
Drexel Collection of original ancient sculptures, Greek and 



102

nology Collections; Colorado Cliff Dwellers' Exhibit; Arch- 
eological exhibits of Mexico, Central and South America; 
Polynesian exhibits ; Borneo and Sumatra exhibit ; Drexel Fan

THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION was organized in 1873, 
and incorporated in 1882. The "Old Field/' located at 37th and 
Spruce streets — now the site for the Dormitory extension — was 
used for all athletic contests from 1885 to 1895. 

FRANKLIN FIELD.— Dedicated April 20, 1895. Improve- 
ments consisting of stadium and grandstand and gymnasium ; cost, 
exclusive of grounds, $400,000. These improvements were made 
during 1903-1904. The architects were Frank Miles Day & 
Bro. The Field is 714 feet long and 443 feet wide. The 
stands were built similar to a house, the slant representing the 
roof. Massive walls with solid buttresses form the backs, the 
low walls, the copings; while the roof, covered with felt, cement, 
and slag, supports the seats and foot boards. These stands 
cover the north, south, and east sides of the field, while the 
gymnasium encloses the west side. Underneath the stands are 
excellent indoor tracks and winter training quarters for athletes. 
The seating capacity of the stands is about 20,000. At each end 
of the gymnasium there is a memorial gateway dedicated to 
Penn's famous athletes ; these form the main entrances to Frank- 
lin Field. The field contains a quarter-mile track, football grid- 
iron, a baseball diamond, etc. 



io6 



THE GYMNASIUM stands on the west end of Franklin 
Field, having a face upon both the field and 33rd street. The 
approximate cost of improvements is $400,000, which was raised 
by the Athletic Association. The Gymnasium building was 
erected 1903-4; is 275x80 feet, being made up of a central por- 
tion and two square towers rising above the other portions, and 
wing buildings at the end. The architecture is English Colle- 
giate Gothic, and the material of dark red brick with black 
headers laid in Flemish bond, trimmed with terra cotta and in 
some parts with Indiana limestone of the same color. The con- 
struction is entirely fireproof, the floors and columns being of 
concrete. The architects were Frank Miles Day & Bro. 
One-half of the ground floor of the main building is taken up 
with a swimming pool which is 100 feet long and 30 feet wide, 
9 feet deep at one end, 4 feet 6 inches at the other. There is a 
gallery for spectators. The other portion of the lower floor is 
divided into rooms for fencing, sparring, rowing, boxing, etc. 

The entire second floor is the Gymnasium proper, which is 
about 150 x 75 feet, with a skylight over almost the entire roof. 
The towers and wing buildings contain locker rooms for stu- 
dents, professors, home and visiting teams. There are about 
2,600 lockers in all, with provision for nearly double that num- 
ber. There are ample shower bath rooms for those using the 
Gymnasium, as well as rooms for secretary, manager, physical 
instructor, etc. There are two main entrances on 33rd street, 
extending into large halls leading to the upper floors. There 
are also entrances from the Field, and all parts of the building 
are connected with each other. 

TRAINING HOUSE.— The training house with dormitories 
for athletes is at 33rd and Marston streets; alongside of the 
north wing of the Gymnasium; contrary to the opinion of many 
when this site was first proposed for the training house, the new 
building adds to the architectural dignity of the Gymnasium, 
with which it conforms closely in style. The architect, Mr. 
Horace Trumbauer, who is a graduate of the College Department, 
has handled his subject in a way which beautifies a corner which 
has been the least attractive on the athletic grounds. The build- 
ing contains ample accommodations for twenty-six men and the 



107 



large living and dining halls accommodate at least seventy. The 
building consists of three stories over a high basement. In the 
basement are the kitchen and pantry, the steward's and servants' 
rooms, and the boiler and engine rooms. On the first floor is a 
large lounging room and dining hall, connected with an open 
hallway. The coaches also have rooms on this floor, leading off 
from the hall. On the second and third floors are twenty-six 
bedrooms and a study. The building is the gift of the Alumni. 
It is connected underground with the Gymnasium.

UNIVERSITY BOAT HOUSE ON THE SCHUYLKILL 



UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA BOAT HOUSE.— 

Located in Fairmount Park on the Schuylkill River. The Col- 
lege Boat Club of the University of Pennsylvania was founded 
in 1872, and the present boat house built a few years later. The 
first University crew was organized in 1877. A fund is now being 
raised for the construction of a new and more modern boat 
house upon the west banks of the Schuylkill. 

The Schuylkill River, known as the "National Course," was 
selected by the representatives of various American Rowing 



no 



Associations as the best course for holding the "American Re- 
gatta" — which is destined to become a sporting event as import- 
ant to Americans as the "Henley Regatta" is to the English. 




ALUMNI HALL.— 3451 Woodland avenue. The building was 
formerly the home of the Medical Institute. The first floor 
contains the printing plant of the "Pennsylvania!!," the under- 



Ill 



graduate daily newspaper. The upper floor is occupied by the 
General Alumni Society, publishers of the "Alumni Register," 
the graduate quarterly magazine. There is also a reading room, 
open to alumni and undergraduates, where collegiate publica- 
tions are kept on file. Hours, nine to five. 




SETTLEMENT ATHLETIC FIELD. 



THE UNIVERSITY CHRISTIAN SETTLEMENT.— The 

new building at the northwest corner of Lombard and 26th 
streets was opened in the fall of 1906. It was designed in the 
Philadelphia English Colonial Style by Mr. Charles F. Osborne, 
and has the latest equipment of a modern settlement building, 
and adjoining Children's Playground. The total cost was $60,000. 
The building is 82 x 54 feet, with three stories, basement, and 
roof garden. The basement contains a gymnasium 40x60 feet 
(which may be used as an auditorium), a bowling-alley room, 



112 



and locker rooms with showers, and heating plant. The first 
floor comprises the office, gymnasium gallery, and two club rooms 
for men, with baths and a separate entrance; the second floor 




has an auditorium which is also used as the girls' gymnasium, 
the library, two club rooms for young men, two for boys, two 
for girls, and a demonstrating kitchen, and a locker room with 
baths for girls. The third floor provides living quarters for the 



H3 



Resident Director and family, four women workers and ten 
students. The roof garden is well adapted for kindergarten 
work, baseball, entertainments and festivals. 

On the wall of the main staircase is a brass tablet to Dr. 
Horatio C. Wood, inscribed as follows : 

This Tablet 

Bears witness to the enduring gratitude 

of 

the friends and admirers 

of 

HORATIO C. WOOD, M.D., LL.D. 

to whose unwearied exertions, unstinted liberality 

wise counsel and eloquent voice, the 

foundation and completion 

of 

this building 

are mainly indebted 

"more is his due than more than all can pay." 

The old building, which has been connected with the new 
house by a hallway, contains a small gymnasium room for 
games, and class rooms for the small boys. An enclosure be- 
tween the two buildings is used for the "physician's ofhce' , and 
the boys' baths. The actual work is carried on by the residents, 
and by the Professors and students of the University who go 
down one evening a week to conduct classes in gymnastics, print- 
ing, singing, manual training, etc. There are also lectures, en- 
tertainments, and religious meetings. Athletics have a promi- 
nent place in the Settlement activities, and there are teams in 
football, basketball, and baseball. These teams use the Settle- 
ment Athletic Field, consisting of twenty acres, on the west 
bank of the Schuylkill River, almost opposite the Settlement 
Building, and near the University Campus. 

Since 1898 a Camp has been conducted by the Association 
each year during the summer months in various picturesque 
spots. In 1908 the Association purchased a beautiful permanent 
site in the Perkiomen Valley, consisting of a farm of sixty-four 
acres; a stone house and barn. The land is of a most varied 
nature, with open grassy fields, woodland, a rocky stream, and 
a dam, forming a pond about a quarter of a mile in length, 
affording plenty of good swimming, fishing, and boating. The 
level tract furnishes ample room for tennis, baseball, and run- 
ning track.

The Settlement sends out eaca summer at least three relays 
of twenty or thirty boys; one group of men, and two of girls. 
One hundred can be accommodated at a time. Each group re- 
mains for a week or ten days' outing. 

Detailed information about the Settlement may be secured at 
any time at the Christian Association Rooms in Houston Hall. 

MASK AND WIG CLUB. — Pennsylvania's famous the- 
atrical organization was founded in 1889. It occupies a unique 




GRILL ROOM — MASK AND WIG CLUB. 



home at 310 Quince street, formerly a stable, which was remodeled 
by Wilson Eyre, Jr., and decorated by Maxfield Parrish. The 
Club House has cost the organization more than $20,000; it in- 
cludes a grill room and offices, an auditorium or rehearsal hall, 
with stage and dressing rooms, kitchens, etc. There are two 
classes of members — undergraduate and alumni. In the early 
winter the Mask and Wig "Preliminary Performances" are held 
in the Club theatre. These are for the purpose of "trying out" 
new candidates, and admission is entirely by invitation. None 
but "apprentices" are allowed to take part. From the best talent 
in the "preliminaries" the Club picks its material for the big annual 
Easter production. This is always in the nature of a pictorial 



H5 

extravaganza, and is played during the whole of Easter week 
at one of the large Philadelphia theatres. The "annual pro- 
duction" is always new and original, and costs from $10,000 to 
$12,000. Nearly one hundred students take part, and the whole 
preparation and management is in the hands of the alumni 
members of the Club. "The Mask and Wig Show" has become 
the dominating theatrical feature of Easter week in Philadelphia.

THE UNIVERSITY HYMN. 

Hail, Pennsylvania, noble and strong, 
To thee, with loyal hearts, we raise our song, 
Swelling to Heaven loud our praises ring, 
Hail, Pennsylvania! of thee we sing. . 

Majesty as a crown rests on thy brow, 
Pride, honor, glory, love, before thee bow ; 
Ne'er shall they spirit die, nor thy walls decay, 
Hail, Pennsylvania ! for thee we pray. 



133 



Hail, Pennsylvania! guide of our youth, 
Lead thou thy children on to light and truth, 
Thee, when death summons us, others shall praise, 
Hail, Pennsylvania ! through endless days ! 

THE RED AND BLUE COLLEGE SONG. 

Come all ye loyal classmen now 

In hall and campus through, 
Lift up your hearts and voices, 

For the Royal Red and Blue. 
Fair Harvard has her crimson, 

Old Yale her colors, too, 
But for dear Pennsylvania 

We'll wear the Red and Blue. 

CHORUS. 

Hurrah ! Hurrah ! Pennsylvania. 

Hurrah for the Red and the Blue! 
Hurrah ! Hurrah ! Hurrah ! Hurrah ! 

Hurrah for the Red and Blue ! 

One color's in the blushing rose, 

The other tints the clouds, 
And when together both disclose,, 

We're happy as the gods. 
We ask no other emblem, 

No other sign to view; 
We only ask to see and cheer 

Our colors, Red and Blue. 

And now, thro' all the years to come, 

In midst of toil and care, 
We'll get new inspiration from 

The colors waving there. 
And when, to all our college life, 

We've said our last adieu, 
We'll never say adieu to thee, 

Our colors, Red and Blue.

POINTS OF HISTORIC INTEREST OF THE UNI- 
VERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. 

Site of the first two buildings, situated on the west side of 
Fourth street, below Arch, and occupied by the University from 
1740 to 1802. 

On the walls near this site are two memorial tablets, the one 
dedicated by the Class of 1889, and the other by the Unitarians 
of Philadelphia, the first Society of which was organized in these 
buildings in 1796, at the instance of Joseph Priestley. 

The house which was built for Dr. William Smith, the first 
Provost of the University. This house is still standing at the 
northeast corner of Fourth and Arch streets. It was the center 
of the literary circles of Philadelphia, in Colonial days, and Dr. 
Smith was considered one of the leading educators of America. 

Site of the old Anatomical Hall of the Medical Department, 
on the east side of Fifth street, between Chestnut and Walnut. 
Occupied from 1765 to 1802. 

Site of the old jail, at Third and Market streets, where Pro- 
vost Smith conducted his classes from February to April, 1758. 

The site of the old Presidential Mansion, at Ninth and Chest- 
nut streets, where the United States Postoffice now stands. The 
building was erected by the State of Pennsylvania as a residence 
for the President of the United States while the capital was in 
Philadelphia. The cornerstone of this building is on exhibition 
in the Library of the University. The University occupied this 
site from 1802 to 1873, when it moved to its present location. A 
bronze statue of Benjamin Franklin, the founder of the Univer : 
sity, has been erected on the Chestnut street side of the old site. 

Grave of Benjamin Franklin, at the southeast corner of Fifth 
and Arch streets. 

Grave of James Wilson, founder of the Law Department in 
1790; also graves of Robert Morris and Francis Hopkinson, 
Trustees of the University, and of other University of Penn- 
sylvania men prominent in Colonial times, who are buried in 
Christ Church yard, Second street, above Market. 

Congress Hall, at Sixth and Chestnut streets, where the Law 
Department of the University of Pennsylvania was located from 
1895 to 1900.
